Are they interchangeable? If you have management skills then do you have the skills to be a director?

A director is higher up the ladder than a manager. A lot of a director's work will be based on management skills (they set the strategic direction of the company) but as mentioned by another poster they have numerous legal obligations too, mostly set out in the Companies Act.

Some companies will use the titles of "manager" and "director" differently to others but legally it's a different matter.
